BlackBerry 6 sneak-peek

April 27, 2010  |  Blackberry, Technology  |  Share  | 

This morning Mike Lazaridis, the CEO of Research in Motion showed us this video during his keynote at BlackBerry WES 2010. It’s a sneak-peek at BlackBerry 6, the new version of the operating system that is expected to be launched by July 2010 for all BlackBerry users.

The new OS is an impressive evolution from the current look and feel of the BlackBerry interface and includes BlackBerry’s new WebKit-based HTML5-supported browser and tight integration with social media via a system called Social Feed that brings together all of your social networks in one, integrated view. The use of pop-up menus is also intelligently incorporated to allow for quick access to functions in an intuitive way.

Search has also been built into the home screen, with the ability to search either the internet or your device.

If the video is anything to go by BlackBerry 6 is going to be a big deal, but I’ll reserve final judgement until I’ve actually used it.

    Eventually BlackBerry back on the ball. New OS looks good, but really proof in the trialling.
